ABOUT PRODUCTID 17701
The original Polish circus poster “CYRK,” designed by Witold Mysyrowicz in 1974, exemplifies the Polish School of Poster Art of the 1970s. The composition is built on contrasting colors: a vivid green face, a yellow and red checkered costume, and a deep magenta background. The central figure—with a broad, exaggerated smile—wears a yellow beret and jacket with a red grid pattern, while the whimsical effect is heightened by enlarged versions of the beret floating above his head. A white “E. Dworakowski” name tag and a red neck scarf add graphic coherence to the design. The poster was produced in offset technique on smooth paper in the B1 format (68 × 98 cm). Mid-century modern and pop-art influences are evident in the bold palette, graphic clarity, and the characteristic freedom of 1970s form. The condition is excellent, with no visible traces of wear, damage, or restoration.This poster tells the story of the Polish circus during the golden age of applied graphics, when humor and metaphor blended with daring color schemes. The surreal portrait, interplay of light and repetition, and the broad, almost cartoonish smile invite the viewer into a world of circus illusion, where reality transforms into a vibrant spectacle. Mysyrowicz’s works from this era serve as a visual chronicle, reflecting a time when the poster became a medium for both information and a subtly ironic, always distinctive commentary on everyday life.The “CYRK” poster can serve as a focal point in modern or eclectic interiors—hung on a concrete loft wall, in a creative studio, a café, or a child’s room. It pairs well with minimalist frames and contemporary settings but is equally compelling in a collection of vintage graphics, alongside other posters from the 1960
